Very abundant in all parts of Polynesia, except the Marquesas and Sandwich 

 Islands. It also extends its range throughout Melanesia and the East Indies. 



The only variation is in size and depth of color ; it is never banded. 



They are found beneath loose stones and drift-wood, a little above high-water 

 mark. 



The animal is very pale, luteous gray, with dusky-gray tentacles. The hinder 

 termination of the foot is fissured or bifid and grooved above.
